Also I did prepare the only Metoposaurus skull with teeth. Which is from the same site.

Here are some progress photos of the skull.
Don't ever put plaster on the bone or I'll make you a dubious taxon.

Definitely true. Though it seems to me these animals would have looked more wrinkly from afar than what small scaly patches might seem to make apparent.

Overall the integument in PP is really well done. But honestly the more time goes by, the more I appreciate the dinosaurs from Dinosaur (2000). Which have meticulously textured scaly wrinkly skin that matches known specimens quite well (at least for the time).

Two articles have already been published and like the rest are freely accessible to everyone.

The first two articles both feature art by me, including a skeletal and life reconstruction of Ardetosaurus viator, a new species first published in this volume.

The vegetation still looks insanely good! 🌿 I can't imagine how long that took to draw though...

Thanks! Those patterns were mostly inspired by leopards and genets. But also by monitor lizards.

Eerst eens kijken welk onderzoek ik volgende keer zou willen presenteren. Wie weet

Haha dat niet helaas. Maar er waren dan ook veel goede posters
